You're making the IMPORTANT food!
I wish that I lived closer to Connie G! Yum! I should make cookies one day. That sounds amazing.

Made some cinnamon rolls last night! I tried a recipe for tangzhong cinnamon rolls last time, and while I didn't love the recipe, I liked how soft they were. So this time I just whipped up the tangzhong part of the other recipe and threw it into the dough of my preferred cinnamon rolls. I probably broke all sorts of baking rules, but they turned out great, so now I will be way overconfident in making alterations to recipes.

Actually, it would be great if you could share some of the Caribbean food so we can expand our food horizons.
I also know I promised a green bean recipe. It is from Southern Living.
Another way to make veggies better is to cover them with yummy sauces. This sauce is original and takes some work but has a high yield. What you don't use right away you can freeze for later. It also tastes good as a sause or glaze on chicken or mushrooms.

I know it's not quarantine anymore, but I'm resurrecting this thread because I'm just so dang proud of this delicious cake my sister and I made from scratch.
(I tried putting it in a spoiler, but that shrank it down to a really tiny size for some reason.

That looks so yummy!
What kind of filling is that, Petrichor? And do you deliver to Canada?

I love when people bump to post foods they've made. Gives us bachelors new potential meal ideas.

How's this for a bachelor (or other person) meal idea? Bacon!
I have had way too much bacon over the last few months. I do it in the oven, so there's basically no work or mess, and then I have BLTs or make scrambled eggs and toast or whatever. It's good every time!
